[gentoo-user] advice about Gentoo (Oracle, Java, VMWare...)
Hi all, I have been a former user, and in my new occupation I think Gentoo could be a perfect tool. Context - I admin a server for PHP and Java Web developers - I have to run a Gentoo host which have LXC guests (also Gentoo-only). - About the LXC guests -- 1 LXC guest with PHP4 (with custom ./configure options) -- 1 LXC guest with PHP 5.2 (with custom ./configure options) -- 1 LXC guest with PHP 5.3 (with custom ./configure options) -- 1 LXC guest with Tomcat + Oracle + Oracle's Java - I'll also need to host several ready to boot VMWare Windows VM images (containing IE6, for compatibility tests): I guess I'll have to install a VMWare server - I *only* want to install with the distribution packaging tool. Is Gentoo a good choice? I think yes because: - Installing PHP4, PHP5.2 is just about unmasking and install - Installing VMWare server is easy But... - Installing Oracle's Java is not so easy: http://goo.gl/tbBFW I master Debian based administration with some knowledges of packaging, but this is the fisrt time I have to deal with Sun/Oracles products which I know are not really Linux friendly. What's your opinion? -- RMA.
Re: [gentoo-user] Mailing list policy on reply
> Nicolas Sebrecht : >It is usually better and prefer the "answer to all" If the replier-to-all thinks of removing unwanted recipients, yes. But most of the time, people "reply-to-really-all" and that annoys. Among that, when replying-to-all, messages "To:" the mailing list are "List-id"/"X-Mailing-List" set, but the others are not. As far as the clever filter way is to filter on "List-id"/"X-Mailing-List" (not on the "Subject:" for mailing lists), I'd rather "Reply-To" on the list. -- Architecte Informatique chez Blueline/Gulfsat: Administration Systeme, Recherche & Developpement +261 34 56 000 19

[gentoo-user] [Xen] How to set or bring up "vif" interfaces?
Hi, I would like to have Xen to run unmodified OS (Windows, and some other Linuces). I know Linux may be ran Xen-aware, but the goal is to experiment some kernel packaging, so that I need to use the distribution kernel. I got the FC5 isos. I made a file "/etc/xen/fc5-guest.cfg" (see attached) But the problem is about vifX interfaces. Neither http://fr.gentoo-wiki.com/HOWTO_XEN#Windows_XP nor http://gentoo-wiki.com/HOWTO_Xen_and_Gentoo tells how to bring up such interface. In fact I dont see anywhere any documentation on how to setup networking for the need of Xen. When I run Xen, I have: asus ~ # xm create fc5-guest.cfg Using config file "/etc/xen/fc5-guest.cfg". VNC= 3 Error: Device 0 (vif) could not be connected. Hotplug scripts not working. bridge-utils is already emerged. vnc is also emerged with USE="server" What didi I do wrong? kernel = "/usr/lib64/xen/boot/hvmloader" builder='hvm' memory = 512 name = "fc5-guest" vcpus=1 vif = [ 'bridge=xenbr0' ] disk = ['phy:/dev/sda5,ioemu:hda,w','file:/home/mihamina/downloads/isos/FC-5-i386-disc1.iso,hdc:cdrom,r'] device_model ='/usr/lib64/xen/bin/qemu-dm' boot='d' vnc=1 vncviewer=1 serial='pty' ne2000=0

[gentoo-user] usb scanner HP2200c
Hi, I have an USB scanner HP2200c. It is automatically detected and used with Fedora and Ubuntu. But on my personnal laptop, I use Gentoo and I would like it to be detected. I have installed xsane and its dependencies (sane-backends, hplip,...) When I launch xsane, it says it does not detect any device. I launch it as user, I already added me to the scanner group. # grep mihamina /etc/group root::0:root,mihamina disk::6:root,adm,mihamina wheel::10:root,mihamina audio::18:mihamina cdrom::19:mihamina cdrw::80:mihamina portage::250:portage,root,mihamina mihamina:x:1000: scanner:!:1002:mihamina I did not touch any of the files under /etc/sane.d/. And last: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ~ $ sane-find-scanner -q found USB scanner (vendor=0x03f0 [Hewlett-Packard], product=0x0605 [HP ScanJet 2200C], chip=LM9832/3) at libusb:003:003 found USB scanner (vendor=0x05e1, product=0x0501) at libusb:001:003 The second found device is an embeded webcam.

[gentoo-user] net.eth0 device initiated services
Hi, I have /etc/init.d/net.eth0. I dont want it to be launch at boot, but I dont want to delete it either because it eases some things when I want to bring eth0 up. My problem is although i "del" it from the boot process with rc-update, net.eth0 is attempted to be brought up by some other tool. When no cable is plugged, it slows as hell the boot process. The message is "device initiated services: net.eth0". Then bringing up attempt comes. who the hell is trying to bring it up?
